The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is talking to Golata Creek community members (including Clearview, Clayhurst, Goodlow, and Flatrock) to help decide the future of the grounds located at 6161 Golata Creek Road. The existing hall was closed in 2022 due to structural safety issues. The PRRD has allocated $500,000, depending on community support via referendum (which is a community-wide ballot/vote on a specific question), to develop the site.
The plan is for the Golata Creek Community Association, who have run the hall for a long time, to keep managing the potential new space. They would do this through an agreement with the PRRD. The agreement would include things like requirements for safety, regular reporting and annual inspections.
Key Decisions
Following public engagement in spring 2025, we have developed six options based on your input:
We need to know which option the community prefers to present to the Regional Board for next steps, which could include a public vote (referendum)

Golata Community Space Project has finished this stage
This phase will include finding out from the community if there is support for a new community space and taxation. The community can find out more at the Community Meeting in April, and provide feedback by filling out the survey or contacting the Community Services Department at the Peace River Regional District.
Board Decision
Golata Community Space Project has finished this stage
In May of 2025, a report will go forward to the Board of the Peace River Regional District relating to the results of the community engagement project. The Board will make a decision on how to move forward with the information that you provided.
Letting the Community Know
Golata Community Space Project has finished this stage
Once the Board of the Peace River Regional District has made a decision on how to move forward with the project, this decision will be communicated back out to the Golata Creek Community. What is decided will inform the next steps of the project. Next steps could include designing a new hall, community space, or leaving the land vacant. If a new hall or community space are supported, more work would be done to find out what would be wanted in a space and bring back options and costs for refinement.
Narrowing It Down
Golata Community Space Project is currently at this stage
Following our public engagement in Spring 2025, a landscape architect has developed six options based on your input:
Option 1: Picnic shelter and recreation amenities
Option 2: Outdoor pavilion
Option 3: Outdoor pavilion and recreation amenities
Option 4: Small, basic, serviced hall
Option 5: Small, basic, serviced hall and recreation amenities
Option 6: No further development
We want to know which design best serves your needs and inform the community of costs.
